I just stumbled onto PEP 316: Programming by Contract for Python (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0316/). This would be a great addition to Python, but I see that it was submitted way back in 2003, and its status is "deferred." I did a quick search on comp.lang.python, but I don't seem to see much on it. Does anyone know what the real status is of getting this into standard Python? Thanks.
